Baseball History: 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates at White Plains Public Library
September 1, 1971, the first time in MLB history that a team fielded a lineup of all African American and Afro Latino players.
A relevant sports history topic that did not get full coverage when the event occurred, the Pittsburgh Pirates fielded a line-up of all African-American and Afro-Latin ballplayers. John Vorperian will give a talk on this momentous occurrence explaining the baseball angle as to why it happened, the omission of news reporting as well featuring the players themselves, including Roberto Clemente and Dock Ellis.
